[QUOTE="Julia Mumford, post: 1075426, member: 52282"] Last week I received a message from Hotel San Andres and Hostal Casa Mariela saying that "due to a personal matter the hostel would be closed between 5th-9th October and therefore they needed to cancel my booking". As it was two places that messaged me within the space of 3 hours, I assumed that there had been a death in the village or something similar. I had 15 people booked into Hotel San Andres and a room for four in the hostel. I later found out (via another hostel) that it was total rubbish, and that they simply had a better offer. He was right. When we walked by, the hotel was open and pilgrims were packing up and ready to leave. Be aware, if you book via booking.com then the hostel/hotels need to pay fees (rightly so). But, this could leave you high and dry like it nearly did for me. If you can, try and book direct. Your booking will be more secure that way. Anyway, panicking, I set to work trying to re-organise the accommodation. I ended up with 6 people in an Albergue in Torres Del Rio, and the rest of us ended up at Palacio de Sansol. [B]The Camino Provides! [/B] I would highly recommend the Palacio de Sansol. It is a recently renovated palace and the owner is a 77 year old who provides the most delicious pilgrim meal. It is brand new, they have private rooms and bunk rooms and the views from the balcony are amazing. The best part of the experience was the "Camino Game" which the host introduced after the meal. It was a set of Camino cards that we had to choose to represent our life before we set out on the Camino, and then a card to represent how we would like our lives to be after the Camino. We had tears, laughter and lots of hugs. It was a fantastic Camino with lots of challenges, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
